As a trader, censorship risk feels abstract until a chart, repo, or dataset disappears mid-cycle. Walrus tackles that problem by spreading data across many independent operators, not one server. Launched in 2024 and pushed forward through 2025 testnets, it stores files as small pieces with redundancy, so no single gatekeeper can pull the plug. If some nodes go offline, the data still reconstructs. That’s the core idea. It’s trending because builders want verifiable availability for on-chain apps, and because outages elsewhere reminded everyone what central points of failure look like. From my seat, that resilience matters more each cycle today.
